[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 230064, member: 6937"] Right. It should be noted that there is one specific type of anti-fouling paint, formulated for aluminum. [size=5]Copper Thiocyanate[/size] is the ONLY type of anti-fouling paint you should EVER apply to an aluminum boat. [size=5]NEVER, and I do mean NEVER apply 'cuprous oxide' based anti-fouling paint[/size] Cuprous oxide is meant for use on wood or fiberglass, NOT aluminum. If you apply this type of paint, and it stays in salt water, your hull will look like the hull of my Aluma-jet when I bought it several years ago....the bottom will be pitted, if not outright fully corroded. Also, to insure proper adhesion of any type of paint to bare aluminum, you should always etch with phosphoric acid, throughly rinse, and then apply a coat of zinc chromate primer. If you don't use the zinc chromate, chances are the coating will begin to flake. [/QUOTE]
